The Secret life of Plants

Some man made cosmetics can affect animals and destroy
their habitats because factories wipe out forests for palm
oil to make cosmetics. It is one of the most used
ingredients in our cosmetics. Also they end up in the ocean
and have opposite effects on fish and shellfish and can
cause severe genetic mutations to the fish and shellfish.
because trees give us oxygen and we need it to breath and
stay alive.
I found out that some natural and non harmful cosmetics
like sugar scrub can be made out of three natural
ingredients: Olive oil,sugar and essential oils of any sort for
scent.
This works because I gave it to my classmates Meriem,
Shouq, Karma, Noura and myself and at the end of the
experiment, all of our hands were as soft as a baby's hand
and were really smooth. My hand was extremely soft and
smooth after testing the product and it worked perfectly.
All of my classmates said that it worked really well and
made their hands smooth and soft.
However some ingredients in natural cosmetics may cause
allergic reactions like burns or skin redness.
The Palm oils which are used most in cosmetics are taken
from forests and are needing to be wiped down Which
destroys habitats of animals such as, Asian Elephants
Tigers and Orangutans This can lead to the extinction of
several species which is bad for the environment and for us
Overall there are way more negative sides to man made
cosmetics than natural cosmetics, this is why everyone
should consider making or using natural cosmetics instead
of man made cosmetics . This will ensure that animals and
their habitats in nature are safe and unharmed.
my research colleague, Hana, will give even more
compelling reasons why we should choose ethical skin care.
